This thread is a dumpster fire. Can someone explain to me why i should be concerned about the tracking of payments that as an average person will not happen outside of buying huge stuff like a car? While no one is forced to answer me i would like you to refrain from vague statements like "this is attacking your privacy", because i am interested in how. If you think its obvious feel free to ignore.

I think the biggest point that i could see being a problem is the crypto stuff because i once made a anonymous donation via monero (that because i was concerned but the target needed privacy). It was about 30€ or something. Would that be illegal under the new guidelines? And if so, why would i care, since it is supposed to be anonymous.

Well I'm not in the EU, but in my situation I live in a shithole in the US called Tennessee. I have cancer that can be removed, but I don't have the quarter of a million for the surgery. It's been impossible to get a surgeon to even look at me, 2 years looking and still no surgeons will even let me in their office.

I need medications but the med I need the most is $8000 a month, it suppresses my autoimmune system and alows me to heal. My cancer is vary rare, it's called a neuroendocrine tumor, it's caused by extreme stress, this is because I'm a natural born empath, but saying that out loud usually gets a knife in my back from anyone near me carrying dark energy.

But to get to the point, I can get some meds occasionally for cheap, as long as they're sold for cash, but if that gos away then I definitely will die much faster. Seems on par for the life I've lived, care about everyone, then have everyone try to kill me.

So, because the US can't get its shit together and you can't get medical help for neither cancer nor psychological issues, the EU - with pretty good universal healthcare - should allow cash payments without limit?

Hey bud I'm glad narcissism, is working out for you. I really hope you're old so it don't catch up.

For a supposed empath you act remarkably similar to an ahole.

You're describing a problem that literally does not exist in the EU to justify that a law in the EU is wrong. That's not very smart.

I wouldn't argue for tougher gun laws in Germany because you guys keep getting your children shot either.

That's actually one of my karmic debts I must pay off (arrogance,) but I already paid off 8 karmic debts, only four more to go if I live to 98 like most in my family.

I was probably a very bad person in my last life. That's why this is my road this time, I except my cancer, and if it takes me then so be it. I also apologize for thinking of everyone as one and everyones actions actually effecting everyone else regardless of country, I forget so many people are still so programmed with tribalism.

Also, if it helps you to understand, I grew up in an extremely conservative stronghold with rich assholes everywhere so I became a dark empath, found my way back mostly, but the dark still pounces out on someone now and then (I'm working on it.) Life's a journey and some don't want to even try to figure it out, but when you really really want to it starts to show you what you need to get where you need to be.

Life has actually been better then ever since the cancer, I still have a projected seven years left, so I'm working on turning the money machine back on and making the money to save myself in this shitty country I live in, but I never expect anyone to understand what it's like to feel others emotions your whole life in a family and community that refuse to except this stuff exists.

Ok, so you're completely bonkers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

that’s exactly what i’d expect a dark empath to say. sheathe your knife unless you want to get saddled with karmic debt bro. you’re limited to paying off karmic debt in transactions of no more than 3k eurohms each, and with this dark energy you’d be in karmic debt into the millions.

Don't worry, I can feel that the Force is strong with them. They have many midi-chlorians, so a karmic debt in the millions should be no problem.

Don't worry, I only wrote this because someone here needed to hear these words.
